Metabolic syndrome is a group of disorders that predisposes to the cardiovascular disorders and constituted a significant risk for coronary heart disease, however, its effect on gene expression pattern is unclear. The considerable evidence demonstrated that genetic factors predispose to the cardiovascular complications. Metabolic syndrome significantly alters cardiac gene expression profile which may be involved in the development of cardiovascular disease. In this study we have measured MMP9 and COX-2 genes expression in cardiovascular patients with metabolic syndrome and those without metabolic syndrome. COX-2 is associated with increased prostaglandin I2 (PGI2 or prostacyclin) production by vascular endothelium. Prostacyclin (PGI2) is
Metabolic Syndrome Metabolic syndrome has an enormous impact the United States economically. Heart disease, diabetes, and obesity are all the result of metabolic syndrome and each requires a tremendous amount of health care. Hormone imbalances can be part of the cause which require medication and hormone supplements which are costly. Unhealthy bodies break down faster and which means they require treatment longer.
This lab primary focus is around biochemical testing and the effects of specific microbiological medias. Explaining the importance for biochemical testing is better by explaining what it does and what it looks for during procedures. One of the key concepts in biochemical testing is bacterial metabolism. Peter Jurtshu, author of an article on bacterial metabolism perfectly summarizes the weight and reason behind a bacterial biochemical test. He states that, “Metabolism refers to all the biochemical reactions that occur in a cell or organism. The study of bacterial metabolism focuses on the chemical diversity of substrate oxidations and dissimilation reactions (reactions by which substrate molecules are broken down), which normally function in
“I’m thankful for my struggle because without it, I wouldn’t have stumbled across my strength.” – Unknown author. Why does this quote describe myself? Well, let me tell you! When I was deciding on a quote, my mind kept coming back to the question, “What obstacles have you overcome?” Of course my biggest obstacle being type 1 diabetes. When being diagnosed with a chronic illness with no cure at any age is hard, but when you are diagnosed the second week of seventh grade, it’s almost an indescribable situation. It’s as if you have been ripped from your old, normal life and put into one that revolves around finger pricks, shots, and ridicules amounts of juices. With the first year being a roller coaster that only went down, I was finally able to take a long ride up that came with success, happiness, and a new life path. I was able to find true friends, start a healthier lifestyle, and most importantly, start living as the ‘real’ me. With this exciting new “life path” I was able to excel in school, sports, and in the way I handle diabetes. I was able to join three new clubs,
Metabolic disorders-Noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidaemia (cholesterol and triglyceride), gallstones, hyperuricaemia and gout are common among obese.
The ad claims that Zyladex plus promotes weight loss. The ad states that " As much as 4 inches and 50% of all excess fat gone in just 14 days!" This ad expresses the fast and efficient weight loss in a little amount of time. So many americans have problems with their weight. They try many methods to getting their bodies as fit as possible. People would do anything to lose weight and this ad lures many desperate consumers into buying their product.
Cardiovascular disease, including stroke and sudden cardiac death, is the leading cause of death in the world population, representing 30% of all deaths in 2008 (Wung et al., 2013). Understanding genetic variations related to cardiovascular disease is a tremendous undertaking because common forms of Cardiovascular disease seem to be impacted by many factors, including multiple gene involvement and environmental influence (Wung, 2013). Wung et al. (2013) focused on three areas of cardiovascular disease and reviewed the genetic research that has been done, the findings and the relevance of genetic testing. Wung et a. (2013), report that there is evidence to support coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarctions (MI) having traits that
Life is full of many obstacles that one must overcome to reach success in life. When I had just barely turned 14 years old I was posed with some of the toughest news I had ever faced. One week after my birthday, on Christmas Eve, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.
This paper is to critique a study conducted on the metabolic control of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This one year study examines the impact of education and counseling on the metabolic control specifically in the Mexican population.
Metabolic syndrome is a prevalent illness that is negatively impacting the health of individuals around the world. This prevalence is due to a rise in the rates of adult obesity, and is resulting in excess mortality due to an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes.1,3 It is defined as a cluster of conditions that occur together, which increases the individual’s risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.2 Metabolic risk factors responsible for this syndrome include having a large waistline, a high triglyceride level, a low HDL cholesterol level, high blood pressure, and high fasting blood sugar.1 Three of these risk factors must be present in order to be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, with the

Dr Tebi is hands-down one of the best medical doctors I have seen in a long time and I am 63 years old! Being a Type I diabetic for 60 years and a Senior Systems Engineer, I do my homework before placing my health and well being into someone's hands. Even more so now that many healthcare professionals are medical groups that rely on spending very little time with patients to meet quotas. Dr Tebi's bed-side manner is calm, positive, thorough, attentive, flexible, and personal. My visit was for a diabetic checkup where he went through each item on the lab report with detailed explanations so that I knew exactly how my diabetic control was. During his review of your health he makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed allowing me to easily
Metabolism is the process in which the body takes the energy from food eaten and turns it into fuel which the body then uses to perform functions such as growth and physical activity. Humans need a variety of different sources of foods in order to maintain a healthy, functioning body. Proteins can be found in meats, fish, shellfish and dairy products, as well as nuts and legumes. These protein sources are used to grow and repair tissue. Fats are needed by the body to function and thrive, but the types of fats consumed matter and should be more of the monounsaturated types. Finally, humans need carbohydrates which serve as the main fuel source for the body. Carbohydrates mainly come from plant sources and are essential for fueling the brain. The body converts the carbohydrates consumed into glucose which is then circulated through the bloodstream. Glucose in the blood triggers the rapid secretion of insulin from the pancreas and this increase in insulin causes the uptake, storage and use of the glucose by the cells for energy. This efficient process is wonderful if all things are working properly, however any changes to this process can result in negative health consequences.
Exercise has been proven to be generally beneficial for health- more so if you are diabetic. The following exercise tips will help you ease into exercise, stick with it for the long term whilst enjoying it at the same time.
The presence of acute coronary syndrome in some patients served to increase lipid output, making it difficult to clearly determine lipid disorders in some patients. This is an issue of concern because high lipid levels are a hallmark for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome.
Diabetes is a classification of metabolic disorders that lead to hyperglycemia. The patient’s metabolism is impaired due to a lack of insulin secretion, or impaired insulin function. Insulin is one of the major components in metabolism of glucose- the body’s primary energy source. Alterations in insulin function lead to alterations in utilization of the glucose stores and cellular function as the body is unable to begin glucose metabolism, leading to a buildup of glucose in the serum. Unmanaged diabetes can lead to a high number of complications, ranging from ocular, renal, neuronal, and vascular.
